Instructions
Bake the Sweet Potatoes
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the oiled baked potatoes directly onto the center oven rack; baked, uncovered, for 45-60 minutes or until very fork tender and the skins are nicely charred and crisped. Remove the sweet potatoes to a platter.
Make the Creamy Chipotle Sauce
In a small bowl, combine the sour cream and Ranch dressing with the chipotle sauce until well blended and smooth.
Assemble the Sweet Potatoes
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked pulled pork with approx. two-thirds of the bbq sauce.Slice the baked sweet potatoes lengthwise, spreading each one open, carefully using your fingertips. Using a fork, fluff the cooked flesh a bit; season with salt and pepper to taste.
Divide the warm bbq pork between the sweet potatoes; top the pork with the prepared creamy chipotle sauce mixture; garnish with the crumbled bacon, chopped scallions, cheese, and relish. Lastly, drizzle more bbq sauce over the top of each potato. Serve at once!
